gnufred/README.md

Hi, I’m Frédéric Potvin

I’m a writer, software developer, and site reliability engineer based in France. I care about healthy habits, telling stories, and building useful things.

Health comes first

For the past five years, I’ve been experimenting with and refining the habits that support my health, energy, and everyday life. I share that personal experience in My Health Hacks.

Looking after ourselves matters to me more than any technical achievement. It deserves the first place here.

Stories and creative work

I’ve written 11 novels, available on my Inkitt profile.

The Monk & The Witch brings together my writing and engineering: a fantasy saga supported by tools for manuscripts, narration, audio, and video.

The Monk Witch GitHub organization is home to the project’s repositories. Most are private, but the published work is available on the website.

Engineering

I have more than 20 years of experience developing software and operating production systems, including work at Platform.sh and Kiln. I enjoy investigating difficult problems and making infrastructure easier to understand and maintain.

My work spans Go, Python, Linux, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms.

Some projects you can explore:

  • Logslate — a Go tool for detecting attacks and other events in NGINX access logs.
  • NXParse — a Go package for parsing custom NGINX access-log formats.
  • My Kubernetes Journey — study notes and a Vagrant/Ansible home lab from my path to the CKA certification.
